To me, public speaking is an essential part of my work as an author. During the last seven years, I have had the pleasure of giving over three hundred keynote address and workshops to large and small groups in forty states.

 My audiences have included:
         • non-profit agencies
         • educational institutions
         • government agencies
         • medical associations
         • trade associations
         • community organizations
         • faith-based organizations
         • advocacy organizations

Because of the broad base of those who have requested my speaking, I have developed four basic programs, each of which I tailor to the needs of my individual hosts:
